What is the difference between BIAB and the other machines that people sell, like Billy Cooper, and Jeff Newman had, I have a friend that has BIAB, uses it all the time, and it makes no sense to me. It just sounds like an accordion playing chords. It sound nothing like a song. I would buy it if it did. I by the rhythm track from varies seller on e-bay, and there great, with singer. Just wondering.

Your friend must have a very old version of Band in the Box, or he just doesn't know how to use it. It's not a machine, it's a computer program. Check out some of the demos on the PG Music website: http://www.pgmusic.com/videos.bbwin.htm

It's pretty impressive what this program can do (to me anyway). Nothing like what you describe.

Some of the first versions of BnB sounded like Chinese music and you had to have a special sound box or what ever you call it to get close to real sounds. As computer sound cards advanced, there's no need for that now. I have a cheap lap top that sounds great. All these songs were done with BNB. One thing about it, drummer stays steady and never misses a lick. We used real bass on some of these and of course real steel and fiddle but the rest is BNB. Warning, hardcore country.

Henry, That is excellent! If I may ask, what recording system did you record the songs with? Thanks, Norm

I used a Roland VS 2480 digital recorder. Steel was line out of a Nashville 112.
